Colorado fun

 warning, lots of pictures on this one.  while we were in Colorado for Jeff's graduation there was a firehouse openhouse type of thing.  so we went.  I was fun.  The kids got to sit in the back of a cop car, fire truck and have all kinds of fun!

 kasia in her fire hat, she didn't have this very long though.  When she got into the fire truck a burst of wind blew her hat into the passenger seat, but because of all the gear and stuff we couldn't get to it.  She wasn't too worried about it, so we left it there.

 the kids all got tattoo's.  Kasia's was a shooting star, with glitter and all.

 We even had time to go to the pool!  Gabe was trying to dry off.  he had quite the pose going on.

 Back home Kasia was trying to build a box to get into.  She did quite well at building it around herself!

 She was even able to see out for a few pictures!

 Kasia is quite the little monkey!

 McKinsey's birthday was just a few days away so we put her birthday gift together while out there.  My mom and I filled the balloons with notes or money and put them inside a big box.  It was fun to see her have so much fun popping the balloons and finding her prize.  She didn't hesitate at all popping those balloons.

Happy Birthday McKinsey (even though it has long since past) We love you!!!

solar eclipse

 Scott and I went to Cedar City to see the Solar Eclipse the last weekend in May.  We didn't think there would be very many other people down there, but if you keep going, there were TONS!!  We found a great area that didn't have any mountains to obstruct our view and so did hundreds of other people.  But it was fun! This was the very beginning of the eclipse.  Our pictures aren't amazing, but they are still fun!

 This is where the moon is completely in front of the sun. At this point someone near us started to play the song "Ring of Fire", pretty funny!!

This in only one way of the cars lined up.  We were about in the middle of the crowd.

 Scott and I in our sexy solar eclipse glasses. 

 Scott also had fun making a solar eclipse viewing box.  so we got to see it two ways, not just one.  fun!
